MAYA = ILLUSION (In Ancient Sanskrit) ... Mayan 2012 ...
Hello... Somebody call?

So; I just started an account to bring you this...

Maya or Māyā (Sanskrit maya, in Indian religions, has multiple meanings, usually quoted as "illusion", centered on the fact that we do not experience the environment itself but rather a projection of it, created by us. Maya; is the principal deity that manifests, perpetuates and governs the illusion and dream of duality in the phenomenal Universe. For some mystics, this manifestation is real.[1] Each person, each physical object, from the perspective of eternity, is like a brief, disturbed drop of water from an unbounded ocean. The goal of enlightenment is to understand this—more precisely, to experience this: to see that the distinction between the self and the Universe is a false dichotomy. The distinction between consciousness and physical matter, between mind and body (refer bodymind), is the result of an unenlightened perspective.

Maya does mean illusion. And from maya we get metru/meter, measure, matrix, mother.

The word "person" also means a mask. From ancient latin, Per-sona, a mask worn by actors on stage.

To me; often enough a person ... or persona ... is ego-consciousness ... or "not-self" ... and Maya, to me, is the delusioned perspective... from a point of unreality...


The word origin of maya; is derived from the Sanskrit roots ma ("not") and ya, generally translated as an indicative article meaning "that".[citation needed] The mystic teachings in Vedanta are centered on a fundamental truth of the universe that cannot be reduced to a concept or word for the ordina ry mind to manipulate. Rather, the human experience and mind are themselves a tiny fragment of this truth. In this tradition, no mind-object can be identified as absolute truth, such that one may say, "That's it." So, to keep the mind from attaching to incomplete fragments of reality, a speaker could use this term to indicate that truth is "Not that."

In Hinduism, maya; is to be seen through, like an epiphany, in order to achieve moksha (liberation of the soul from the cycle of samsara). Ahamkara (ego-consciousness) and karma are seen as part of the binding forces of maya;. maya; may be understood as the phenomenal Universe of perceived duality, a lesser reality-lens superimposed on the unity of Brahman. It is said to be created by the divine by the application of the Lila; (creative energy/material cycle, manifested as a veil—the basis of dualism). The sanskaras of perceived duality perpetuate samsara.

The answers you speak of is the illusion.

What is pure, is the real answers to our questions.

Truth doesn't come in any website, paper, objects or things.

Truth comes from the light, and many have not seen the full extent of it, but a mere glimpse.

The light lies within, but our lamp shade is full of soot, for us to comprehend the whole truth.

We just can't handle the truth because, one is to scared to see whats truly looking at them, on the other side of the mirror.

Truth is fear, fear is truth, they go hand to hand.

Fear is the illusion (Light), as you conquer it, you will know Darkness (Love). The Truth is Darkness and the Truth is that Darkness is Light. Darkness created Light and Light created fear of Darkness (Itself). Darkness (Truth) does not Fear Light (Itself) because Darkness created Light. One conquers Fear (Illusion) to know Love (Truth).

From wikipedia:

The word origin of māyā is derived from the Sanskrit roots ma ("not") and ya, generally translated as an indicative article meaning "that". The mystic teachings in Vedanta are centered on a fundamental truth of the universe that cannot be reduced to a concept or word for the ordinary mind to manipulate. Rather, the human experience and mind are themselves a tiny fragment of this truth. In this tradition, no mind-object can be identified as absolute truth, such that one may say, "That's it." So, to keep the mind from attaching to incomplete fragments of reality, a speaker could use this term to indicate that truth is "Not that."

So in other words, 'maya' means "God".

The Sanskrit word 'maya', and the Central American Mayans are about as far removed from each other as can be.

OP you don't need to say "Ancient Sanskrit", because it's already implied that Sanskrit is an ancient language. It's like saying "burning fire", "wet water" or "falling down".
